Maybe the drama carries over into tomorrow. This tournament has an 18-hole playoff scheduled for Monday, so who knows.

I was wondering if anyone here plays the PGA Tour at a semi-pro level? Basically, I'm trying to get a feel for how the tournament circuit and leagues actually work here in the States and across Europe.

I've spent most of my life playing team sports, but I'm thinking about pivoting to something individual. I haven't fully committed yet, but the PGA Tour is definitely one of my top contenders right now. 😉

Before I go out and drop a ton of cash on gear and really dive into it, I figured I'd pick your brains. Hopefully, someone can shed some light on this. Is it even realistic to make it big in the PGA Tour? Could I realistically be winning small local tournaments within a year? What’s the scene like for tournaments and prize money around the US or in places like Europe? Is there a path where you can actually earn a living off the game? How much training time are we talking about? Also, is it feasible to just set up a little practice range in my backyard if I have enough space? And generally speaking, what kind of investment versus payoff are we looking at in this sport?

Honestly, the only real pros you'll find around here are the instructors.
If you want to play professionally, you need more than just skill—you need insane amounts of practice.

Here's an example of someone who didn't even play the sport originally:

Miguel Cabrera and Studs Snedeker are sitting at 7 under heading into the final round, and I guess we should probably expect an aggressive Tiger Woods since he’s trailing by four.
Yesterday was actually pretty wild; Jason Day completely blew it after leading most of the day. He held steady at -7 until the last two holes, then just totally fell apart with two bogeys.

There’s gotta be some other people on this forum who actually enjoy the PGA Tour, right?

Oh, they're here. It's just that a lot of us skip the coverage on Augusta National because the commentators kind of ruin the whole vibe.

Kaymer 🙏 🙏

What a turnaround, what a fight. I live for the Ryder Cup

Europe wins the Ryder Cup, Tiger 😂

And like they say: Seve, this one is for you!

Poulter's putt on Saturday afternoon to grab that sixth point for Europe really seemed to wake everyone else up.
I honestly wasn't sure if what Alan Shipnuck predicted would actually happen—that Sports Illustrated commentator mentioned the winner would be decided in the penultimate match.
Stricker is basically the only player from the USA who hasn't managed to snag even half a point over these last three days.
